Hopefully you will find that getting drunk is unnecessary and adds no value to your life and does not help you as a person. Jade and Chase….. you may just be an alcoholic.

My heart and my prayers go out to you. It is definitely an indication that the limp began after the viral infection. I understand the uncertainty and the worry that you must have gone through. I am glad your sun is improving and hopefully he will make a full recovery. Keith,

We immediately brought him into ER to be evaluated. Very difficult to come to a diagnosis. At it turns out...our son had had a stroke (most likely as a result of the infection)...and the stoke only affected the left leg. We went from a suspected knee injury (internal bruise) to a toddler fracture, to hip effusion, to a torn miniscus in the knee, to muscular disorder, to reactive arthritis...and finally due to a particularly curious rheumatoid doctor...a quick unscheduled meeting with a neurologist who ordered a ct-scan. The scan picked up the stroke. As it turns out, our son was quite lucky for having had a stroke...because it only impacted the lower left limb, and was a weakness so subtle that ER doctors and specialists did not suspect a neurological problem at all (good reflexes, good control of arms and hands, symetrical strength). There was just a slight weakness in the left leg...enough to keep our son from bearing full weight on it...and enough neurological damage to have him keeping his leg locked and straight while walking or sometimes when getting up or sitting down. Our son still limps now at 19 months old (2+ months after the event)...however is slowly improving, and will hopefully gain full recovery through physio, play, and time.

She missed several weeks of school because nobody knew what it was! They couldn't tell me what, why, how, or if it was contagious. It was horrible looking all over her face. Really bad. I was worried that she'd scar afterward but it cleared up without a problem. One of my girls had this mysterious rash a couple years ago.

It is intended to promote relaxation and pleasure. If you are drinking before and during work, you've got a problem. As for those old theories about working or driving better when you're high...grow up. You are the one who thinks your talents improve with your abuse. I also believe that people who continue to abuse any substance is selfish, especially when they see how it negatively affects them and their families.

Relocation is always an emotional time and during this time, it is always best that your moving should be as uneventful as possible. Last Christmas, we moved to Greenville, SC. A place where we knew none. Great post! Relocation is always an emotional time and during this time, it is always best that your moving should be as uneventful as possible.

I can speak from personal experience that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that smoking marijuana causes you to be less motivated to work for your family whether that be in giving 100% effort in your job or in spending time with your family. Smoking marijuana every day is an addiction my friend but you are addicted to an action and addicted to selfishness whether or not the actual drug serves as an addiction for you or not. But that is not the issue here. The issue is alcoholism and I think many of your marijuana supporting friends would take issue with you comparing alcohol use to marijuana use as there is clear data of the physical and mental damages alcoholism causes. Drinking and driving is never a good idea. And I assume you drive to work.... Esteban this is a typical point of view from someone who is looking to justify their actions.
